It is very easy to learn how to speak and write English correctly, as for all purposes of ordinary conversation and communication, only about 2,000 different words are required.

Many people say that English is the hardest language to learn if you were not born in a primarily English speaking home. Two skill areas must be emphasized if you want to learn to speak English fluently. The first is memory (which is involved in both vocabulary and syntax) and the second is prosponses (which are involved in both pronunciation and syntax).
